I give it two stars because I think it's better than Kamchatka. Doesn't taste any better, but seems to get you high a little faster.
Very bitter. Very strong alcohol taste, even compared with higher-proof vodkas. Not a good vodka if you don't want it on your breath.
I got it 'cause it was on sale for $8.99 for the 1.75 l jug, which is pretty dang cheap. It was cheaper than Wolfschmidt, Gordon's, Fleischman's, and even some other bottom-shelf stuff that I've never heard of. So I give it a star for bang-for-the-buck.
So, if you want a cheap drunk, this is one. However, the next morning, you'll feel like somebody put sand in your eyes and hit you on the head with a bat.
